Need help matching paint

[Barbarian333]

Anybody know of a brand and color to match the underside wing color of a spinach 109? Thanx for any info.

Home depot, tell them to match it, in a sample, ask for glidden-eggshell, use a spunge or airbrush, it the spot is small and you a good use a brush, light strokes.

Good info, Thanx Jnewboy. I've admired your work.

I actually have better luck using Lowes paint.

I got a perfect match for my Pavehawk projects.

Very good info from the masters , Thanx again

I learned it from the real master! Pickelhaube!

I'll vouch for the Lowe's paint matching! Again, a tip also picked up from Pickelhaube. I did it once to match the paint between the PH Humvee turret and 21c Humvee (see below). It works very well and you will give you a ton of paint for less than the cost of a bottle of regular model paint



The only downside is that you get this sort of quizzical look from the guy at the paint counter...

Any particular type or brand you get at Lowes?

Look into this post I think is it is Valspar. Semi gloss. I think that the semi gloss works better than the flat.

The flat is too grainy or rough. The semi gloss went down nice and smooth. Then hit it after a couple of days with the dull coat and it is almost a perfect match
